Engine Oil Level

Engine Oil Level
I hope this is not a totally stupid question but here goes. I checked my engine oil level cold and it indicated approximately 1/2 Qt. low. I checked it after the engine was fully warmed up and it was perfect. My question is, do any of you know if the correct reading is cold or warm? I know the capacity is 10 quarts and I do not want to over fill or run to low, but with having that much oil, temperature will make a difference in the level.
Thanks

It is a lot, but it's true....The price we pay for such a good engine.....
HBlexus07.....I would expect that the cold level would be higher than the warm or hot level.
Check it again, you have the readings reversed.....
Down a half quart wouldn't matter at all, but I hate going over the full mark.
